Tamiya 18017 - Rising Bird Mini 4WD Kit Details

The Tamiya 18017 - 1/32 Rising Bird brings a classic Mini 4WD silhouette together with a chassis designed to take common performance parts. It is a compact kit that appeals to both display builders and those looking to experiment with setups.

Frame and Styling

The model uses a dependable chassis that delivers steady handling on typical Mini 4WD courses. The bodywork is styled to cut wind and stand out visually, while the lightweight build helps keep acceleration responsive.

Personalisation and Parts

Enthusiasts can personalise the Rising Bird using widely available Mini 4WD components. Whether focusing on top speed or cornering stability, the chassis offers room for standard upgrades and modifications.

  • Scale: 1/32
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Required: Yes
  • Paint: Optional
  • Battery: 2AA (sold separately)

How long does assembly typically take?

Assembly time depends on experience, but most hobbyists can build the basic Rising Bird in a single afternoon, with additional time for painting and tuning.

Can I use aftermarket motors and gears?

Yes. The chassis is compatible with common Mini 4WD motor and gear upgrades, allowing you to experiment with different speed and torque setups.

Is painting required for a good finish?

Painting is optional. The kit can be displayed as supplied, but a paint job adds a personalised look and can refine the model for shows or track presentation.

What should I check during maintenance?

Regular checks of wheel alignment, rollers, and gear mesh will keep the Rising Bird running smoothly. Clean and lightly lubricate moving parts after track sessions.
